Question

I'm really worried about my mom. For the last 67 months, she's been experiencing excessive yawning during the day. We've done all kinds of tests like chest x-ray, ECG, echo, TMT, and even basic blood work, but everything's coming back normal. She often mentions feeling like there's air stuck in her left chest, and yawning seems to give her some relief. Sometimes she even has chest pains. Could you help us figure out what's going on?

Question

I'm currently using Foracort but it's quite expensive for me. I've heard of some cheaper options like Quikhale 200 Vent FB. The problem is I don't have a prescription right now. Is it safe to switch, or what would you recommend?

Question
